Got PR - when to apply for citizenship
Posted: Sat Jun 25, 2016 1:12 pm
Hi Guys,
I am an EEA citizen and I applied for a document certifying my permanent residence on 2nd of Nov 2015. One week later, on 9th of Nov I received an email from Home Office to confirm that they received my application and it will be considered. After nearly 6 months, on 15th of April 2016 I found the document certifying permanent residence in my mail box. I know that I must wait one year before to apply for British citizenship via naturalization but I don't know when this year should start: when I applied for OR when I received the document in my mail box?
When I will fill in the form should I start my history from the date above 5 OR 6 years backwards?
Many Thanks,
George
